After
appearances in several stage performances including her father's play
Unspoken Dialogues, Shazahn appeared in several national
advertisements, whilst auditioning for roles in Hindi films. After a
film with Vivek Vaswani failed to materialize, she successfully
auditioned for the part in Yash Raj Studio's Rocket Singh: Salesman of
the Year opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Shazhan played Sherena in the film,
the first customer who treats the titular character with respect during
his job as a salesman. Although she played the leading female role,
her screen-time was minimal leading to critics claiming that her role
had little scope. The film opened to positive reviews, but the lack of
publicity became a reason for it becoming a failure commercially at the
box office. Text Via
